Annabel Lee
​
A Screenplay Based on the Novel 'This Sweet Sickness' By Rebecca Highsmith
​
​
Synopsis/Details:
​
David Kinsey is an aspiring writer who works in a factory, in a small urban city, in the west coast of Ireland. He lives in a bedsit/lodging house. He is quiet, enigmatic, full of secrets. We watch him as he struggles with 'the situation,' his sickly feelings for an unrequited love, Annabel, who lives over 100 miles away in Dublin. He writes her letters, hoping to snatch her away from her newly-wed husband, Gerald. We are also introduced to his only close friend, Wesley, and Effie, who stays in the same lodging house, a woman who is as obsessed with David, as he is with Annabel.
.
As the story unfolds, we watch his mundane day to day routine play out, and listen to his musings about the situation, about Effie, whom he despises, and about the loss of respect he had once gained for Wesley, due to his extra marital affairs away from his wife. Shenanigans that include his failed attempts in courting Effie, all the while claiming to David he isn't interested in Effie and encouraging David to date Effie, instead of obsessing over Annabel.
​
Things come to a head when he finally receives a letter from Annabel, after months of waiting, who declares she recently had a baby with her husband. Blinded by jealousy, he drives to their apartment to resolve the matter in a last gasp attempt to win over Annabel, only to get into a verbal altercation with Gerard. An altercation that leads to disastrous consequences.
